Chapter 63: The Mystery

"The horse is long, the fish is short......" Shen Yu habitually scratched his forehead and muttered to himself, "Where does the horse grow?" What is short on the fish? Is the combination of two places the right answer? ”

Xu Zhen couldn't help but scratch his head, always feeling that something was wrong with Shen Yu's words.

"Xu Zhen," at this time, Song Zhili came to Xu Zhen and asked, "What...... You guessed it again? Isn't it, we need to send someone to search Racecourse Street? ”

"No need, sir!" Xu Zhen didn't forget to give a salute, then shook his head and said, "It's definitely not Machang Street!" ”

"Oh?" Song Zhili raised his eyebrows, "Are you so sure?" ”

"Chang and Chang have different sounds," Chen Houlu analyzed on the side, "Besides, Racecourse Street is so big, it's too general, right?" ”

"Master Chen is right." Xu Zhen hurriedly agreed.

In fact, Chen Houlu only said one point correctly, and the other point was judged by Xu Zhen through the monk's micro-expression.

Although the monk was noncommittal at the time, the slightly drooping corners of his eyes and the slightly interested eyes still showed that Xu Zhen's guess was wrong.

"The horse is long, the fish is short......" Song Zhili thought about it for a while, and asked Xu Zhen again, "So...... What do you think it means? ”

Xu Zhen shook his head again and replied truthfully: "I haven't guessed it yet, these four words are not like anagrams." ”

"Alas," Song Zhili shook his head and sighed, "It's really a wave of unevenness!" I wondered, if I heard the four anagrams that the monk said before, could I solve them like Xu Zhen? ”

Song Zhili's words may sound difficult to understand at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, they are very reasonable.

After all, Song Zhili is a reader, so he is naturally interested in this kind of word game.

It can also be seen from this that Song Zhili is a little jealous on the basis of being suspicious of Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen, a little catcher who has never been to school, can easily solve the anagram, he is a little unconvinced.

At this time, Lang Zhong had already been invited to the yamen, and Song Zhili hurriedly arranged for someone to carry Tong Xian Ling to the back guest room, and then let Lang Zhong treat him.

At the same time, Cheng Xiao had also arranged for the detention of the monk and returned to the lobby to resume his life.

"Cheng Zhutou," Song Zhili said to Cheng Xiao, "The identity of this monk is also very important, you have to know who he is first, and this case can be investigated!" ”

"Yes!" Cheng Xiao nodded, "I'll arrange for someone to paint a portrait of the monk and check his identity." ”

"We only have one temple in Yanping County," Song Zhili reminded, "Call a monk to come and identify it, do you know it?" ”

"Yes."

"Also," Chen Houlu added, "since this monk brought the Tong County Order back to Yanping County, it means that the hatred between them should have happened to us." So this monk is very likely to be a local in Yanping County. ”

"Understood, I'll do it, but ......" Cheng Xiao first nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Two adults, the riddle that the monk just said...... Do we have to check it first? ”

At the mention of the riddle, the two adults looked at Xu Zhen again, but Xu Zhen still shrugged helplessly, saying that he really couldn't guess.

"It's really not good," Chen Houlu came up with an idea, "Let's call a few Xiucai from Xuanwu Academy to come over and help study it, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Song Zhili nodded, "It seems that this can only be the case!" ”

"No, no, no, two adults," Cheng Xiao hurriedly said, "You seem to have misunderstood what I mean, this riddle of the monk is so simple, we already know the answer." ”

"What!?"

This time, even Xu Zhen was quite surprised, and looked at Cheng Xiao with everyone.

"How?" Cheng Xiao was surprised, "Don't you know? ”

Everyone looked at each other, especially Song Zhili, who was full of poetry and books, and his face was a little red.

"The length of the horse is the intestine of the horse? "The intestines of the intestines," Cheng Xiao explained, "fish short is our dialect here, which means fish maw, and fish maw can be made into fish gelatin. ”

"Huh?" Shen Yu was dumbfounded, "Eat?" How can it be eaten? Right? Aren't monks vegetarians? ”

Xu Zhen was also quite surprised, and hurriedly asked, "That...... What does this horse intestine and fish gelatin refer to? ”

Cheng Xiao looked proud, thinking that you Xu Zhen also had a time to ask me for advice.

"Sanyo ......" At this time, Fu Bin behind him said, "Sanyo horse sausage, it's delicious, they are the only ones in the county who make this." ”

"Fish shorts can be made into fish gelatin," Cheng Xiao said, "There used to be a family in Lu Ji that made fish gelatin, but their family has gone out of business." We can find out who is still doing it now? ”

"Oh......" Song Zhili nodded slightly, feeling that Cheng Xiao's analysis was still relatively reliable.

"Horse intestines and fish gelatin," Chen Houlu said, rubbing his beard, "It's really strange that I've been in Yanping County for so many years and I don't know that there are these two things." ”

"You have a chance to taste it," Fu Bin said, "I haven't eaten fish maw, but the horse intestines are indeed quite delicious, and I heard that they were all brought from the Western Regions at the earliest!" ”

"Okay," Song Zhili no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered, "Since that's the case, let's go and investigate!" This monk is not good, and we must not be lazy! ”

"Yes." Cheng Xiao received the order.

"Also," Song Zhili advised, "we don't know the monk's purpose for the time being, and don't torture him until it's ascertained." ”

"Yes."

"Alright, let's do it!" Song Zhili said again, "I went with Chen Xiancheng to see the Tong County Order. ”

After that, the two county officials walked to the inner hall, but just after walking a few steps, Song Zhili suddenly remembered something, and asked Cheng Xiao: "By the way, Cheng Zhutou, you are also an old man in the Yamen, do you recognize this Tong County Order?" ”

"Recognize, recognize," Cheng Xiao hurriedly replied, "At that time, Shen Lao was still catching heads, and Tie Feng and I were both fast catchers." ”

"Oh......" Song Zhili nodded, "That's the best, there has to be an old man in the team, right?" Let's get this case clear as soon as possible, Qiu Batian's matter is still waiting for us to close the case as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" Cheng Xiao hugged his fists again and promised.

Only then did the two county officials continue to walk towards the depths of the yamen, only to hear Chen Houlu introduce to Song Zhili as he walked: "Lord Song, you still call him Tong Changshi, after he left in Yanping County, he was transferred to Shangzhou to be a Changshi ......."

Seeing the two county officials leaving, Cheng Xiao immediately gathered the team and began to assign tasks to the crowd.

Because Xu Zhen was an important participant, he was assigned to the group that cracked the horse's intestines, but this time it was Cheng Xiao himself who led the team.

Everyone didn't care about dinner, and immediately rushed to the horse intestine workshop in the southwest of the county.

According to the information provided by the catchers, the owner of the horse intestine workshop is called Liu Sanyang, who has been running a horse intestine business in Yanping County for more than 20 years.

Due to the cumbersome production process of horse intestines, and the people who like to eat horse intestines are relatively fixed, they are the only ones in the entire Yanping County.

They don't have a store either, but they have a processing workshop in the alley.

Cheng Xiao obviously bought horse intestines here, and he was familiar with the road, so he quickly led a group of catchers to arrive.

However, as soon as they arrived at the door, they realized that something was wrong.

But I saw that the door of the workshop was locked.

"Isn't that right?" Fu Bin said, "I remember that Liu Sanyang lives here, how can he lock the door at this point?" ”

"Yes," Cheng Xiao said, "even if Liu Sanyang has something to do, the guys in the workshop will take care of the business, and they shouldn't lock the door from the outside." ”

So, Cheng Xiao hurriedly ordered everyone to get ready to climb over the wall and enter the hospital.

However......

Cheng Xiao still forgot one thing, they took the tiger girl Shen Yu with them on this trip.

This side was not ready yet, and over there, Shen Yu slammed the door open with his shoulder!

Crash!

Not only did the door lock fall, but even half of the door fell off.

"I cut ......"

Cheng Xiao was so angry that he wanted to scold the street, but after thinking about it, they were here to investigate the case, not to arrest people, since the door has been opened, let's go in and have a look!

However, before he could raise his hand to signal, Shen Yu had already rushed into the workshop with a whistle stick.

Cheng Xiao had no choice but to take the others to follow him into the workshop.

Bang Dang!

Another door was knocked open by Shen Yu, and when he entered the house, his heart suddenly tightened.

But seeing that there were two people tied up in the room, they should all be guys from the workshop.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

When they saw someone coming in, they quickly whined and screamed, and one of them kept gesturing to the back room with his eyes.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao immediately pushed open the door of the inner room, and before he could enter, he smelled a pungent smell of blood......
